Witness, Wro. S. Fulton, private secre t-try to commanding general. I do hereby certify, that during my long residence on the river Appalachicola, my knowledge of the Indian language, and my intimate acquaintance with the differ ent chiefs, gave me many opportunities of knowing, through them, the advices given them from lime to.time, by the governors of West Florida, hostile to the United States. In the year t8l2or 1813,1 saw •t letter-from the governor of Pensacola tu the late chief of the Serainoles, Thomas Perryman, advising him to collect his for ces, and jciti his upper town brethren, who, he said bad come to a determination to rise in arms, and sliaKc oft’ the Ameri can yoke; he would supply them in arms and ammunition, and lie said be was sutc tnat in less than a month their fathers and protectors, tne Spaniards, woo til have a -i-ifficient army in the field to aid aiul| protect them- Not .long after! s.tw .tliisi letter, a large paeiy <d -.Indians went down; “} Pensacola, where they received a large; supply of ammunition and some arms. It was but shortly after this, when they at tacked and destroyed the garrison ol Fort Mims. This was tlie commencement of tlie first Indian war. Gil the 13lli ol De cember last, when at my plantation on the Appalachicola,,! was made a prisoner by a party «l Seminole Jndiai^s, and wps taken- up to the ■Ocimsee Bluff’, in company with- Mr. Doyle, wlio.was made a prisoner with- me. They kept us here three, days, il tir ing which "time they w-cre buisly engaged; with some transports, which were then as-; sending the .river to Fort Scott. From' thence they-took us tu tl-.e Mickasukv, when the Indians iuformed ipe that they had been told by the commandant of St. Marks, that war was declared between; Spain anil the United States. Frqm this; place we were carried^ to the Suwaney, when Kenliager, principal chief of the Seini- noles,told tne, that tve had beei taken and; robbed by ordor.of Arbutlinot, and brought; there to be tried by him. Shortly alter. »ve, reached this, Arbutlinot arrived from- Providence,-when we were tried, and..gen- fenced by.said Arbutlinot to be tortured. This sentence .was not put into execution,, (ro'ii the friendly iu*crftrence of Mr. Conk, clerk to Arbutlinot, ami tlie negro chief Nero. We were then conducted back tr, the Mick;isuky9. Then Kenliager .went’ down to the fort of St. Marks, to consul the commandant 'if he .would take us as- prisoners, to be held at iiis order. They, held a council among the neighboring chiefs, and on the fifth day lie returned, and ordered us to be conducted down next morning. We arrived at St. Marks on. tne U2tli of;February at night; the Spaiusi-. nfikers received us kindly, but the com mandant did not forget, to remind us, that we'were still prisoners, anti marked out that night tiie limits of our prison, which, they rigidly kept during the time of our stay. Next morning, the first tiling that presented itself to my-view was.my sad dle Imrse, which had been taken, from me by the Indians; Sc was in the possession of the commissary. I mentioned it !o the. commandant, but he said that lie bought liiin of an ilndian, and lie could do no thing in it. A few days after, is the' course of conversation, 1 mentioned it to the. Spanish doctor; he assured uie that two thirds of the prypertv taken from,us l;y the Indians had been bought by .the commissary, and others, in the fort. The pluudered.property taken from Georgia was every day readily, bought by. the-com mandant and olners. .1 .knew one.in stance of an"imliau ..making on engage ment with tlie commandant fur cattle that he was then going to plunder, anti in >14 or 15 days lie brought thc.su in ami sold them. On our first arrival at St. Murks,’ we had, by the help of a friendly Indian,’ conveyed intelligence to ,our Irie.nds in Pensacola of our situation, and they sent; us on a small vessel to effect Qur escape. At her arrival, tne commandant said to us^ that lie had no objections to opr getting out of the. power of the Indians, but that he should first demand a written obliga tion that we should never return to that country, nor fioid communication, directly or indirectly, avitli the.United States! government,.or any of lift-officers. Tins being settled, we.felt'St. .Marks on the night of the.28th March, and joined cap tain M-Keever in bis gun boats, m the bay of .Appalachicola, on the,50th ultimo, re turned with him to St., Marks, ■ where we joined general Jackson on the 6th of April.

Sir—After the occupancy of fort Saint Marks with American troops on the 7th April last, it became my duty tu take charge of some goods found in oue of the public stores. These goods were pointed out by the Spanish commandant, who, through Mr. ^Hambly, as interpreter, seperated several of the articles, cUimcd as his own private property, and designated ot..ers as the propeity of Francis, or ijillis -Hago, ami Arbutlinot, a British agent or nailer.: an inventory of .the these were taken, a,nti de-. posited with the,American officer -left in command at fort St. Maiks. With res pect, etc, I). E. Ttvioos, Bvt. major 7th iiitioury. I certify that I acted as interpreter in the transaction above all oiled to, and two separate parcels of goods were designated by the Spanish commandant of St. Marks as belonging to Hillis iiagn and Arbuth nut. \Vm. 11,vmbly. Fort .GaiUiUn, May 22il, 1818. Sir: We beg leave tp submit to you the following .statiMucut of facts. On tlie.l5ih December, >1-817,'we were violently torn from uur settlements on the AppalaciiicoD. river by a.number of Indians,’beaded by ‘.'li<nubby,a.cluef-.fruiii the Futv.l Town, tribe, carried.to Mickasuky and delivered to Krnhajah, king of the Mickasuk-iaiis.— K-i nliajah carried us to the Negro towns on Suwany, and tiience to the.Spanisji lor at St. Murks, to file commandant of which lie delivered.us as prisoners captured un der the orders of a Mr. Arbutlinot, rrpor ted to ttsos a British agent. At St. Marks we were treated as prisoners, and,not per-; milted to wapdcribejond t(ie walls of tin garrison. Whilst at that post, the ingress and egres; of the Indians, hostile tu tlecdJpited States was unrestrained, and several cuuuci’.s were JvSM, .at one of .which, .(lanhajah,' King of the MidcasukUins, Francis orilil- lis Hugo, Ilumatlilciiieco, the chief of A:i- tcase?, ami the chief of the Holcmics, ali of the old red stick party, and Jack Mealy, chief of the Hr.hewas, were present. When.it was reported tjwit .the chiefs, and that warriors were euteting Fort St Marks,.for the.purpose of holding a coun cil, Hambly represented to the .comman dant the impropriety of permitting such proceedings wVtiiin’the walls,of a Spanish fortress, the officer of whieli.was bound to preserve and enfoirtW the treaties existing' between the king of Spain and Hie .United States: lie replied to .Handily, with some degree of.ivar'tntli, observing, that ;t was not in his power to prevent it. On the In dians coining into the fort, at tliqir request we were coiifiueil.;The council was .held in the commandant's quarters: lie, the com mandui.fi waspcesqjtt, bat strictly forbade the-inti-ashm-of ary of the nffitrers of the garrison. . The Indians, were In the habit uf driving to Fort St. ‘.tlarkg, and disposing of cattle to-the commandant and other-Spanish offi cers. While at that postj tlirce or four droves were brought ill, acknowledged bv tlie lmlians to have been stolen (rum the, citizens of the Untied Staley, and purchas ed by the Spanisli officers. We were.present at most of these con tracts, and llalnbly often referred to, as an iuterpietvr between the purclmscrand sel ler. * Chennbby, a Fowl town .Indian, ouce applied-to.ilanibiy to mention to the com mandant, that lie was about visiting tin frontiers of Georgia, on a plundering expe dition, and wished to know whether lie- would purchase tip' c:;tlle brought in.. A contract was entered into; and Chenubby soon afterfirought in and disposed of ele ven bead of cattle to the Spanish comman dant of Fort St. Mark*. These same cattle were those purchased by yon from the corny:.!mldiit as his pri vale property. . Wm. Hamjjly. Eaii’n. Doylb.- ort Ga^u^n, 3, 1818. Sir: In conversation with .the r.nrnman- tiant.cf Fort Bt. Marks, on the subject oi having that work occupieil bran Atnerican garrisont l bad occasion-to notice the aid and comfort that tire hostile party of In dians had recrived.as reported .from him: that they had Irec acccss.within the wails of his fort, ami that it-was uell known no small supplies of guimunitimi had beemre ceived frtim that'rtoarter. In repl/lie.st{itttd c tljat Ujs conduct had been governed by r polity; - the defenceless state of his work, and the. weakness of bis garrison compelled him to conciliate the friendship ol the Indians, tu supply their wants, to grant what he.had.not ttie power to deny, and to tnrow open, with apparent willingness, the ga.tys.ol his fortress, lest they should be torced by violence. l hat be hadfieen repeatedly, threatened by Indians muLiu-groes, and tbaVhis secu- rity oepended upon exhibiting an exter; nai inejpUhip.

Sir; The Seminole war having terminat ed, I deem it politic and advisable tpsphd to Wasingtou John Blunt and his Indian comrades, who have acted as pilots to me during the iaie campaign. John Blunt is a Tuckahachee Indian, has long been fri.end- ly to tlie United States,and in consequence of bis opposition to the Red Stick party, during the Creek war, has drawn down upon himself their vengeance during the late conteid, His settlement being in an exposed situation on the Appalaehicoi’ river, he was .early attacked by the Seim- iioles, his property destroyed, and his Fa mily-railed from him. Alone he escaped, and fled to Fort Scott; where, joining the American standard, he has proved himself a mostzealuos friend and faithful pilot, to this period. In justice to him, I am boy dj .to state, that to bis .correct .k.notv- ledg-e of the country, ahd zealoug attach ment to the cause in .which we were engag ed, am f measurably indebted for the suc cess tif the present .camps.igp. Mr. Hambly accompanies John B'unt. Mr. H. is a Spanish subject by birth and has long been a resident as a trailer,, on the Appalachicola ri'- er. In consequence of his attachment to the American cause, ami his active exertions to check the hos tile feelings of those Indians, disposed war against the United Stales, lie drew down upon himself and family their ven geance. He-was forcibly taken from hi house at an early .period' of the ,war, his property, goods” and negroes taken from hilp; and he violently transported from Mifkjisuky, Suwany and St. M.-uks, until finally relieved by captain M-Keevcr, of the American navy. Since that period lie lias been attaclied to inyamy as Indian in terpreter. I ou will find him an honest and faithful triqnd to oqr goyer.ninent,.and valuaitie fol- the .information w hich he can afford of Spanish policy and intrigue. 11' *■> well acquainted,with ail ti,c lrap.sactinn of foreign agents in this country, of their practices, etc. and how lar eiiCuuraged by the Spnuisk authority, efc.
